Anon of 14:50, I'm the Anon of 14:37 who wants claimants to pay costs if they lose and to be made to insure the risk.

I should have made it clear that I meant in the Tribunals - not in ordinary p.i. work. Employer face an unquantifiable risk in a difficult area (I am thinking particularly of discrimination cases) and really have no choice but to be represented, which means they lose even if they win. It's not an insurance risk which is spread over a large number of policyholders. It's just not right that an employer should be left out of pocket after winning a case, and it leads to bad cases being settled.
